Responsibilities After Building Use

Please note that it is the responsibility of the group or individual using the facility to set up, clean up and return the facility to normal setup after the approved event or activity.

Collect all garbage into bags and bring it out to the dumpster located behind the Cafe area.

Wipe off tables. If food or drink is involved, wipe all tables clean using a mild soap and water solution. If stains occur please notify office so correct cleaning solutions can be used to remove stains.

Return all tables, chairs, easels, and other equipment to their proper places after your event. Return all rooms used to their normal set up.

If using the kitchen, please wash and dry all dishes used and return them to the correct cupboard. Take all extra food and beverage with you unless specific plans for usage have been made. Wipe counters and leave kitchen clean and ready for the next use.

Sweep floors and mop as needed. Report any damage to equipment or property promptly to the office.

Remove any items put up on the walls or set out in connection with your event.

If the building is not in use when finished, please check that all doors are locked and lights are off. Then lock up. (Set the alarm if you are the last person leaving.)

*Washcloths, towels, a broom, a dustpan, etc. are located in the cleaning closet behind the Sandkidz Check-In area. Please return these to the kitchen when you are done using them. Used towels and washcloths can be left in the kitchen. They will be picked up and washed regularly.

Kitchen Etiquette

Check with church office for availability of date desired.

There could be more than one activity that uses the kitchen in the same week. Therefore, we request that you check with the church office before you bring your supplies to the kitchen.

Please return items to designated drawers and cabinets. These areas are labeled for your convenience.

Please take home all food and beverage items. We have limited space to store these in our one refrigerator.

Clean-up: Please wash all dishes, put them away, wipe counter tops and stove, clean sink and sweep floor if needed. Leave used dishcloths and towels in the sink. They will be picked up and laundered.

Trash should be put in garbage cans and tied, then placed in the garbage bin located outside behind the Cafe Area.

Thank you for your co-operation. Help us with these guidelines. This will allow us to better serve the needs of everyone who uses the kitchen. If you have any questions, you may contact the church office at (803) 699-7112.

Providing Childcare

Childcare for your event must be coordinated through the Children’s Ministry Department. Contact the church office at (803) 699-7112 to arrange childcare for your event if needed.

All Childcare workers must be Sandkidz approved workers. These workers have been screened and trained by our Children's Ministry, and therefore the only acceptable workers for your event.

If the Childcare worker policy is violated, all future event requests by the responsible party will be rejected, and no monies will be returned if event is cancelled due to violation of this policy.

In some cases, Sandhills will not be able to provide childcare. Contact the church office (803) 699-7112 to discuss childcare options with the staff.
